B. e. M. Survey.

The severity Of the weather during
the past week has had a tendency to
materially retard the progress of the
survey only about four miles having
been surveyed, which brings them to a
point about five miles west Of this city.
Barring an unexpected detour, the sur
vey will enter our limits at the west
end of town, which We presume will be
satisfactory to all, as the east end will
be reserved for the Elkhorn, which will
doubtless tap us from that direction be-
fore the close Of the coming year. The
Cheyenne Northern is said to be turn
ing their weather eye in this direction,
which excites but little interest, as Gus
ter people are far from selfish, realizing
that enough is as good as a feast.

Christmas.

To say that this sacred, and greatest Of
all anniversaries was heartily enjoyed
in this place. would scarcely ex press
the measure of enjoyment experienced.
The conventional entertainments at the
different churches, where Christmas
trees bending under the weight of the
numerous and varied gifts of Santa
Claus, were marked by the usual flow Of
JOY and gladness which is ever manifest
upon such occasions. A number of Eat
home" entertainments, similar in char
acter, were noted at private residences,
which were even more ENJOYABLE, by
reason possibly Of the sum total of en-
joyment being divided among a less
number of participants. This Christ
mas occasion was one which will be
remembered as having been replete
with unalloyed pleasure, and where
upon every face JOY, well defined and
unmistakable had set its significant
seal.

Tin Mill.

We learn that all of the machinery at
the mill is now in place, and that the
mill is practically completed. During
the week the machinery has been tested
in detail, with the most satisfactory
results. Experimental runs will be
made in the reduction of ore during the
coming week, which, If satisfactory, will
be followed by regular and continued
operation of the mill. and the early
shipment of Custer tin.

The New York Engineering and Min

shipment Of forty tons Of tin ore to En-

during the week. This is evidently the
ore shipped by the Harvey Peak com
pany, and the report of Prof. Vincent,
of which this ore would form q part,
has probably ere this been submitted.

The Lead City Daily Tribune con-
templates issuing a weekly, instead Of a
daily during the month Of January and
February. This action is induced by
lack of necessary patronage for the sup
port of a daily, and is done as a matter
of business to cut expenses during the
dull season. Lead City is probably the
poorest newspaper town, of its popula-
ton, in the west.

DIFFUSION.
by Mr. N. Lubbock.


Now that The question of diffusion, as
applied to the sugar Cane, is again coming
prominently to the front, it will be of in
tereSt to plante s to consider what are the
advantages aud disadvantages likely to
result from the adoption OF the system,
and, more important than all, the@proS-
prcts Of profit or otherwise.
Judging from what has been done in
Spain and elsewhere, it may probably be
fairly assumed that the mechanical Difficult.
ties of slicing and diffusing the cane have
been overcome. o
The only practical difficulty attending
the process, and it j, one the overcoming
of which is merely a matter of expense,
is the removal of the 'schnitzel," as. the
Germans call he slices of cane after being
exhausted of sugar and saturated with
water. 1t may, however, be q somewhat
important expense, inasmuch as the weight,

by I. A. WILCOX. of Santa Clara County, Cal
The small fruits, so far as the Pacific
coast is concerned, embraces the straw
berries, raspberries, blackberries, goose
berries and currants. These fruits, until
within the last few years. have been re-
garded chiefly as luxuries; but at the
present time they rank also as the most
wholesome of food, besides containing
medicinal properties of great value.

WIN Plant His Ranch in Emit.

Edgar Mills, of Sacramento, banker and
farmer, came up few days ago to see his
7O00-acre farm in the foothills of
Colusa county, and after attending to
business matters there came up here and
spent the night in Red Bluff, We met
him in Cone & Klmbalps office this
morning, and enjoyed q social and bust
ness chat of fifteen or twenty minutes.
He says it is his intention to divide his
ranch into small lots of twenty, forty,
sixty and eighty-acre holdings, and
sell land to fruit growers, or Guilt
vate the whole of il himself
in fruit within few months, or few
years at farthest. He believes olives will
prove to be one of the most profitable fruits
that can be raised in the State. Olive trees
will grow in comparatively poor soil, and
will make rapid growth without irrigation.
He says pure olive oil is very scarce in any
market, and when made pure it commands
a high price. It is nearly all adulterated
with cotton-seed oil, and an entirely pure
article of olive oil is a rare commodity.
he believes in irrigation, and says if a
portion OF the Sacramento river was turned
out and conducted along the foothills
OF Tehama, Colusa and so on to Sui
sun Bay, by means Of large canal, lands
now worth FIVE, ten or even twenty dol
lars an acre, would then sell for two
to five hundred dollars an acre for fruit
culture. He is somewhat enthusiastic on
fruit-grewing and irrigation, and says the
land boom in northern California is COM
ing rapidly.-Red Bluff Sentinel.
